Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 can apple pie filling (21 ounces)
Taquitos
- 6 soft flour tortillas (medium size)
- 4 tablespoons butter (melted)
Coating
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the tortillas and filling: Lay the six soft flour tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of apple pie filling evenly across the center of each tortilla.
- Roll the taquitos: Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling to form a taquito shape. Make sure to seal the edges well.
- Brush with butter: Using a pastry brush, coat the outside of each rolled taquito with the melted butter to ensure crispiness during cooking.
- Coat with cinnamon sugar: In a shallow dish, mix together the sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll each buttered taquito in this cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated on all sides.
- Arrange in air fryer: Place the taquitos seam side down in the basket of your air fryer. Arrange them so they do not overlap or stack, allowing even air circulation and crisping.
- Air fry first side: Cook the taquitos at 350°F (175°C) for 9 to 11 minutes until they turn golden brown and start to get crispy.
- Flip and finish cooking: Carefully flip each taquito over using tongs and air fry for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until the other side reaches your desired level of crispness.
- Serve warm: Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your crispy, sweet apple pie taquitos warm.
Notes
- You can substitute whole wheat flour tortillas for a healthier option.
- Be careful not to overfill the tortillas to prevent bursting during cooking.
- If you prefer, serve with a side of vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for dipping.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for best crispness.
- Adjust air frying time based on your specific air fryer model and size of taquitos.
